Guns Up Greeters

We want you on our team!

Guns Up Greeter Program is a group of roughly 30 students selected to participate
in a leadership and community service program shortly before the residence halls open
in the fall semester. These student volunteers are valuable in helping to ensure a
smooth move-in process for new students.

Guns Up Greeters volunteer during move-in weekend and at least once during Night at
the Sub & Food Fest. Guns Up Greeters will be heavily involved from Thursday, August
17th until Sunday, August 20th. After that time, involvement in other activities and
organizations is determined by each individual participant. Nearly all program expectations
will end before the beginning of classes.

Guns Up Greeter Program consists of students selected to assist families with primarily
administrative tasks within Hospitality Services (HS) and the dining locations across
campus. Examples include staffing HS location tables, greeting families, providing
directions, etc. Students in this role should be comfortable speaking with people,
be attentive to detail, and at ease working with large groups of people.

Program PerksDuring the 4-day program, participants will:

Connect with incoming students

Participate in college success and leadership training sessions

Interact with and work alongside university staff

Help other students and families during the move-in process

Receive free meals during the program

Get a free t-shirt

Move into the residence hall on Wednesday, August 16th - several days before everyone
else!

Program EligibilityWe are seeking energetic students that are excited to be living on campus. Ideal applicants
should feel comfortable working with others, being around groups of people, and comfortable
assisting others. The Guns Up Greeter Program is open to any student living on campus
at Texas Tech during the fall 2017 semester. A limited number of spaces are available
for the Guns Up Greeter Program.

Program CostsThe Guns Up Greeter program is free to all participants. There are no program or application
fees.

All participants will sign a leadership agreement highlighting expectations of the
positions including attendance at all training events and volunteer shifts. Because
of the large cost absorbed by Hospitality Services to sponsor this program, students
that commit to the program, but then fail to arrive or to fulfill their expectations
will be billed for all expenses the organization absorbed on behalf of the participant.

To Apply

Download and complete the application form to apply. Applications will be reviewed
on a rolling basis beginning on July 17th, 2017 and only a limited number of spaces
are available. All applicants will be notified of their status at the time it is reviewed.
Should you have questions about your application, please contact our office.

We ask that you do not submit multiple applications, as only the first application
will be considered.
